What material are these pushrods made from?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing. They are then heat-treated for added strength and durability.

Why is the heat treatment important for these pushrods?

The heat treatment ensures maximum strength and helps prevent bending or wear, especially in the critical tip areas. This makes them compatible with guide plates commonly found in performance engine builds.

How do I know if this pushrod length is correct for my engine?

This specific pushrod measures 6.250 inches in length. It's crucial to confirm the correct pushrod length for your engine build, as incorrect lengths can affect valve train geometry and performance. Refer to your engine's service manual or consult with a performance engine builder.

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built to handle the stresses of high-RPM operation and ensure your valve train functions reliably.

They are also OD ground for consistent dimensions and finished with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod is laser etched with its length and part number for easy identification during installation, making it simpler to ensure you have the right parts in the right places.

This pushrod is a solid option for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1980s and 1990s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar. Always double-check your specific vehicle's requirements to ensure this 6.250" length is the correct fit for your engine build.
